Hotel Description
Located in the very heart of Ronda's historical centre, "Hotel San Gabriel" is just a short stroll away from the town's world famous medieval bridge across the dramatic gorge. Previously a fabulously beautiful home, it was opened as a hotel in 1998, managed by the family.
Built in 1736, this ancient Andalusian house with its original Coat of Arms and handsome stone facade offers 21 carefully decorated rooms, each maintaining the authentic old-style Spanish flavour and grandeur which is present throughout the hotel. Small details provides the personal touch. Every single corner, every corridor contains something special.
The traditional charms have been complemented by modern comforts whilst every care has been taken to preserve the original character of the building. Each room, individually decorated, has an en-suite bathroom, central heating, air conditioning, television and minibar.
Besides a spacious and homely living room, "San Gabriel" offers guests an intimate café bar for breakfast and drinks with tapas in the evening. If you prefer, there is a cosy wine cellar where you can enjoy a sherry before dinner and a peaceful patio with plants and fountains, of which a client once wrote, "… here, you can almost hear Spain's heartbeat … "
Last, but not least, you can enjoy classical films in the hotel's small cinema room with sumptuous red velvet seats taken from the grand theatre which once adorned the centre of Ronda. All in all, it's a lovely place to stay, attractive in every respect and well run by a charming family who really care.
Ronda is one of Andalucía's loveliest towns, spectacularly situated, steeped in history, reputedly Hemingway's favourite city in all Spain.
Standing on a towering plateau in the mountains of Málaga Province, it is perhaps most famous for the dramatic, plunging river gorge which divides the medieval (old) part of town from the 18th Century (more modern) part.
Coming a close second is its bullring, the oldest, largest and most beautiful in Spain. Everything about the town is a delight, one of the oldest cities in Spain with a heritage of magnificent buildings and a history which dates back to the mists of time. At "Hotel San Gabriel" you will be right in its midsts.
